Yunah Lee will star as "Cio-Cio-San"
TDO's School Performances Program

Begun in the 1960’s as a field trip to the opera for students, The School Performances Program has expanded to include interdisciplinary curriculum that supports standardized, state-mandated educational objectives for music, math, social studies, and language arts.

The School Performances for 2009-2010 will be Madame Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini at the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House at the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets are $9.50 for students and teachers. The special two-hour performances of Madame Butterfly will feature English translations above the stage, enabling the audience to understand the words as they are sung.

Performance Schedule
Performance 1 – Friday, May 14, 2010 – DISD and Wichita Falls schools
Performance 2 – Monday, May 17, 2010 – DISD and Wichita Falls schools
Performance 3 – Wednesday, May 19, 2010 – Richardson ISD, Wichita Falls, with limited seating for Metro area schools)

Curriculum
The School Performances curriculum is developed using the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) guidelines. Each year teams of teachers from area schools attend the In-Service training and receive free curriculum materials, which include lessons and activities, student newspapers, a CD and DVD for the selected opera. Attendance at the 2 ½ hour training session is required in order to bring students to a School Performance.
